Yes I thought it looked like Sydney too. except for the last letter. That's not close to Maitland area (is it?) Of course there may be other Brownlows in NSW.... she was a laundry maid so could have worked for anyone. Thanks Just once I'd like one of her records to provide an answer instead of a dozen questions LOL At 10:52 PM 27/01/2009, you wrote: >Hi Minuet > >The last word looks like Sydney in the first reference > >In a 1832 Diecrory Richard Beownlow was an Innkeeper, Kent St, Sydney >In a 1844/45 Sydney Directory Richard Brownlow was a wine and spirit >merchant 366 George street, private residence 104 Elizabeth Street. > >cheers > >Grahame

Hi Minuet Maitland is a fair distance north of Sydney, maybe 200 kms plus, use a map site through google such as multimap. There were no other Brownlows listed in the directories. Could check the 1841 census (with its limitations) - I doubt many convicts would have a maid, check the Col Sec indexes for other Brownlows. What does LOL mean? - not needed.

Thanks Grahame, I did look at a map - but I thought I'd check - after all she is supposed to be married with kids in Maitland when she leaves for VDL. Are the directories of everyone, I thought they were more businesses / professionals? If they include all the bigger households then yes, the chances are that is the Brownlow she was working for. LOL is laughing out loud. cheers Min
